A lack of urgency in getting the new manager up and running could cost United dear as a vital trip to Anfield looms after the international break

Pep Guardiola has emerged as a spectacular candidate to take over the United States men's national team if Mauricio Pochettino leaves for Manchester United. The former Manchester City manager is currently a free agent and has previously expressed a deep admiration for the long-term sporting potential of the country.

Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes has stepped in to clarify the controversial comments made by Barcelona's Raphinha regarding his fitness management with the Brazilian national team. The winger faced significant scrutiny after suggesting a need for careful minute monitoring during the current international break.

Manchester United have officially sacked Michael Carrick following a severely disappointing start to the new Premier League campaign. Despite guiding the team to a third-place finish last season, the hierarchy ruthlessly decided that a managerial change is required to achieve their current ambitions.
